Gorgeous weekend! The kids and I had a good weekend . Frankie worked all weekend. Saturday-major cleaning and errands. We did get to meet up with Missy and fam at Valentino's; which was good food and great to visit with them. Missy has been super busy with work so we hadn't seen them in quite awhile. Our kids get along famously and Cannon cornered Nate to talk Star Wars, etc. so all was well with the world.
My auto immune disease acted up Sunday morning so I was sick and grumpy. I had to cancel Sunday School so I hope the kids made it through the day without their treats :). Later Sunday afternoon I forced myself to get up and moving. The kids ate lunch with Missy's kids (ask Cannon about Missy's famous homemade pizza-the crust is to DIE for). Since both our hubbies were working we joined forces. We went to the Antique Carousel in Story City which was fun. Then the girls opted out of swimming to play Polly Pockets at Missy's so Cannon and I returned to S.City for swimming. Okay, it was more water play than swimming, but I impressed Cannon by swimming the length of the pool. Cannon nor I had been swimming all summer and due to the fact that the pools around here close next weekend we figured this was our chance. I'm so glad we did !!! We goofed around and had a really fun time. It was good to see Cannon relaxed and silly instead of serious or forboding. At first, the water was shockingly cold,but soon the water felt refreshing not cold. How on Earth did Cannon and I let all of summer escape us without at least one trip to the pool? The weekends that Frank works I try to complete several extra chores because I feel bad that Frank is working. Sometimes he then gets the next 2 days off and othe times he is working extra days-either way I tend to really feel bad and push myself to get several chores done. Then I get grumpy b/c I feel like I'm working all of the time too. Frank told me to relax and do something fun with the kids before it gets cold so..
I know I was not as graceful as "back in the day", but I made it. Man, we need to get that kid some swimming lessons.
Had a fun chat with Sara Saturday a.m. Also Saturday a.m. I completed my initial allergy "immune therapy" shots ;which swelled up and turned hot and funny colors. Now I am at a maintenance level unless I start getting sinus infections or asthma attacks again. YEAH!!! I'm free I'm free.
Frank and I are going to try to at least take the kids to Adventurland since we haven't journeyd out of town all summer-we didn't even go to a family movie. Oh well.
The house situation may be heating up! Keep praying all.
I succeeded in getting Jewel hooked on Family Ties. Poor Frank. I think he is going to start a support group for husbands/fathers of people addicted to classic sitcoms. Jewel hasn't become fascinated with The Waltons yet-I'm working on her. She watched the series until the truly intense Christmas show when Elizabeth's only present -the china doll- gets smashed. Does anyone other than me remember this episode?
Okie.. still pecking at Eldest page by page. Cannon thinks I take "forever" ,but I'm not devoting myself to Eldest like he does (I've got Mom stuff to do too).
Work has been crazy, crazy busy. This afternoon was "normal" UGH I'm thankful.
Smiles and God's Blessings to you all.

My annivesary dinner was FABULOUS! Thanks for asking. I ate the entire sandwich!!! I'm glad to report the sandwich was just as good the 2nd time as the 1st. Frank and I shared a funky lemon (his fav flavor) cake;which was actually pretty good. Not super duper like a cheesecake for dessert, but after my delectable sandwich I could've cared less about the dessert. Frankie even dressed up and wore a tie :)
For breakfast he split an order of fried cinnamon rolls (beyond words so good)-then I had to go walk/run 6 miles to make up for all those calories. I've really noted gaining weight has been more difficult to fight since I'm in my mid-30's. Oh well, one meal at a time.
Smiles!
